—Matthew 10:1-15
by: Tim Bond.
This passage runs parallel to the one we read on Wednesday, but it gives more detail—listing all the disciples’ names. It leaves one to wonder, “How did Jesus pair them up? Did the pairs of brothers go together?” From what we read in the Gospels, the brothers seem to have been natural leaders within the group. Therefore, they may well have been paired with the lesser-known disciples in order to have more effective teams. In both Gospels, the point is made regarding taking no money or extra clothes. Talk about faith mission trips. These saints set an example few, if any, Christians follow today.
